There is said, Returns an Error if text not found. Any change in behavior would require to firstly change the standard. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I think it is possible to make FIND work a-la Excel and SEARCH as proposed here (or vice versa). then XLS import filter can simply use Excel-friendly variant. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

FINDEX() Function Syntax: FINDEX(string, string, START, END) Initially, when I wrote the code for the FindEx() function, I did NOT interpret specifically a negative END position, BUT returned 0 IF START END. I did played with the idea to interpret negative values as pointing to the _end_ of the original string, though the code would have become to complex and I abandoned the idea. The requests to search the end of the string (and even a reverse search) did pop up on the MS forums, so I think it is time to get into such an extended FINDEX() function, too. The idea: - IF (START 0) = begin to search at string position: strlen() + START /* REMEMBER: START is negative */ - IF (END 0) = end search at string position: strlen() + END /* REMEMBER: END is negative */ So, it would be possible to specify relative positions from the beginnineg or from the end of the original string. This function would not cover a reverse-search, however, one could similarly define an RSearchEx() function. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
